The Davis-Putter Scholarship fund presents Harlem Radicalism from Hubert Harrison to Hip Hop, an educational fundraiser featuring Jeffrey B. Perry, 1979/80, 1980/81 grantee, historian and author of Hubert Harrison: The Voice of Harlem Radicalism, 1883-1918, and Kahlil Almustafa, 2008/09 grantee and author of Growing Up Hip Hop.
The Davis-Putter Scholarship Fund provides grants to students actively working for peace and justice. These need-based scholarships are awarded to those able to do academic work at the university level and who are part of the progressive movement on the campus and in the community. Early recipients worked for civil rights, against McCarthyism, and for peace in Vietnam. Recent grantees have been active in the struggle against racism, s*xism, homophobia, and other forms of oppression; building the movement for economic justice; and creating peace through international anti-imperialist solidarity.
